Complete the task When you choose a piece of clothing, there are 3 important things: how it was made, what it is made of and how it fits. However, we shouldn't ignore such an important point like colour. So, here are some life hacks that will help anyone to match colours like a real professional. First of all, you need to know about the special tool called the Itten circle which is quite popular among people who work with colours in any area. This circle includes basic colours, their mixtures, and all the colours on this circle are divided into primary, secondary and complementary ones. Strategy No. 1 The simplest way to build colour combinations is to match contrasting colours. One can find them on the opposite sides of the Itten circle. Together these colours always look energetic and dynamic, especially when you choose the brightest colour tones. Strategy No. 2 Another easy method to follow is to go for 3 colours that are on the same distances from each other. This method gives you contrast and harmony at the same time. The main advantage is that the combination looks quite interesting even when one uses light colours like sky blue. Strategy No. 3 Try matching from 2 to 5 colours located next to each other on the circle. This combination is mostly associated with something calm and comfortable. Take, for example, combinations of relatively similar colours like yellow-orange, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green. Strategy No. 4 If you don't want to use any tools, then this variant will be perfect. To match colours like a professional, one just has to remember that white looks great with everything, especially with blue, red and black. Black is a universal colour but the best option is to choose colours like yellow, orange, pink, red, purple and white. As for grey, it will go well with red, yellow, blue, pink and purple.

When you choose a piece of clothing, there are 3 important things: how it was made, what it is made of and how it fits. However, we shouldn't ignore such an important point like colour. So, here are some life hacks that will help anyone to match colours like a real professional. First of all, you need to know about the special tool called the Itten circle which is quite popular among people who work with colours in any area. This circle includes basic colours, their mixtures, and all the colours on this circle are divided into primary, secondary and complementary ones.

Strategy No. 1

The simplest way to build colour combinations is to match contrasting colours. One can find them on the opposite sides of the Itten circle. Together these colours always look energetic and dynamic, especially when you choose the brightest colour tones.

Strategy No. 2

Another easy method to follow is to go for 3 colours that are on the same distances from each other. This method gives you contrast and harmony at the same time. The main advantage is that the combination looks quite interesting even when one uses light colours like sky blue.

Strategy No. 3

Try matching from 2 to 5 colours located next to each other on the circle. This combination is mostly associated with something calm and comfortable. Take, for example, combinations of relatively similar colours like yellow-orange, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green.

Strategy No. 4

If you don't want to use any tools, then this variant will be perfect. To match colours like a professional, one just has to remember that white looks great with everything, especially with blue, red and black. Black is a universal colour but the best option is to choose colours like yellow, orange, pink, red, purple and white. As for grey, it will go well with red, yellow, blue, pink and purple. And last but not the least, brown can be paired with bright blue, green and beige.
